Replaced the fixing screw at the Front Turn Signal housings.
I think some of the members posted exactly the same issue in the Forum section in the past.
Not sure why this kind of material and design were used for this screw but sooner or later, it will corrode and make your life very difficult when trying to remove the housing.
You can still replace the light bulbs (turn signal and small/parking) from the top without removing the turn signal housing if you move the headlight body out of the way but still, not ideal.
I think I should have replaced the spring plate/nut/washer (the mating part where the screw locks. Don’t know the correct name…) at the same time but for now, I’ll re-use them.
The new part looks like this.
The obvious comparison of old and new one.
The screw head was just about fine but already heavily corroded everywhere.
Before and After.
